So its no surprise that, in the alternate reality of For All Mankind, Star Trek exists.
Because Im gonna double-check my grandbaby is a full-blown Trekkie.
Thats right, were gonna watch all the series, all three of them.

That throwaway line got some fans wondering.
In our reality, there were six total Star Trek shows by 2003.
So, which three survived in this reality?
Classic For All Mankind.
Take what we know, and twist it a bit.
It, of course, didnt happen in our reality, but did in For All Mankinds.
As for why, by 2003, only one other show existed, we dont know.
And yet, there is a tiny twist here.
We also know that Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan exists in this universe.
But, according to Moore, its got a slightly different context, at least in his mind.
The original Star Trek went off the air before the Apollo II landing…
In my version of history, Paramount does make the Phase II show in the mid-70s.
But its still The Wrath of Khan that we know and it was essentially the same story.
I love The Wrath of Khan and I couldnt bear to change that.
So its the same thing.
But, recently, the shows star Joel Kinnemandid tell io9 how he hopes itll all end.
It all comes back to Trek.
